2012 Editors' Choice: Best Value Full-Suspension Mountain Bikes

Scott Spark 29 Team

4 / 5

Scott’s World Cup bloodline was immediately evident in the lower-cost Team model. With race-inspired geometry and a lightweight frame, the Spark soared uphill and accelerated with a dragster’s pop when we stood on the pedals. The relatively short geometry made this bike flickable and fun to ride, though it felt less stable on rapid descents.
